Etoricoxib is a once-daily COX-2 selective anti-inflammatory (NSAID). In Australia it is used for the symptoms of osteoarthritis, for gout attacks, for period pain and for pain after minor dental procedures, and elsewhere also for rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. It comes as 60, 90 and 120 mg tablets; the original brand is Arcoxia.
Do not take etoricoxib with other NSAIDs, or with aspirin used regularly for conditions other than preventing heart attack or stroke. It can raise blood pressure, a common side effect, and if you take low-dose aspirin for your heart, keep taking it (Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care).
